If you are a woman without insurance or your co-pay makes it difficult for you to access health care, you may be eligible to receive a free mammogram at Allegheny GeneralHospital. AGH, in partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, are now providing free mammograms to women with limited resources. Regular mammograms are important in detecting breast cancer at an earlier stage – when it is most treatable. If you would like to see if you qualify, you can call (412)359-6543.

Our Mission....

Community Voice Mail (CVM) helps people living in poverty, transition and homelessness rebuild their lives by connecting them to jobs, housing, information and hope. We do this by providing them with a stable voice mail number at no cost to use to receive vital messages that they would miss otherwise.
